Researchers at Columbia University have developed a hair restoration method that can create new human hair, rather than simply grafting hair from one part of the head to another. The approach could vastly expand opportunities for hair transplantation in both…
Researchers may have discovered an underlying cause of male baldness pattern and their findings suggest that the condition may be reversible. In the study, scientists at the University of Pennsylvania examined hair follicles from 54 men seeking hair transplantation surgery….
Dr. David Alpeter is a hair restoration physician working with Bosley out of New York. Alpeter joined us in the Hair Science Studios to discuss rogaine, propecia, and the current state of hair restoration science. Alpeter also discusses Bosley’s Aderans…
A team of researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston have identified a protein that helps with hair growth by regulating cytoskeleton reorganization. The group, led by Scott Snapper, looked at mice that were lacking the protein, N-WASP, to determine…
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have found that hair follicles in adult mice can regenerate if awakened by genes active in developing embryos. These findings show that, like newts and salamanders, mammals have the power to regenerate cells. A…
Baldness may soon be a thing of the past, say researchers working at the University of Chicago. A recently discovered molecule called beta-catenin may be the trigger instructs embryonic cells to become hair follicles. Howard Hughes, author of the published…
